Tyce is TWO!

Tyce, Tycers, Tyceroo, Tycie, Tyceroo-roo, Tycer-Ricer-Roni... You have more nicknames than your brothers combined!  And you are so cute I could just eat you up somedays, and then so naughty I want to strangle you two minutes later.  Let's just say you keep me on my toes!

At two years old, Tyce...

-Likes to play rough and tough with his brothers
-Hardly comes to mom to be babied or coddled
-Can tease and torment (Eli especially) like no one else can
-Wakes up happy and full of energy
-Laughs, giggles and wants to play and chase all day
-Gets into anything and everything.  This kid is BUSY and needs constant stimulation
-Talks extremely well.  Quite the chatterbox really.  Tyce can say full sentences like "Daddy go to work" and "Where Eli go?" and "Ethan at school"  all.day.long.
-Very bright.  Has known his animals/sounds for a long time.  He can sing his ABC's and counts 1,2,3,4,7,8,9,10!  Pretty good for two:)
-Announces that every snack or drink he gets is, "A big guy!"
-Gets soooo excited when he sees/gets something he likes.  He says, "OOOHHH.  YES!!!!"
-Has these big dark brown eyes and long eyelashes.
-Pretty good eater and has been less picky these days.  Therefore, pretty solid kid.
-Favorite foods= yogurt, cereal, pretzals, chicken nuggets, hot dogs, mac n cheese, ice cream, CANDY, junk food, etc
-Loves trucks, trains, diggers, airplanes, etc.
-Also likes balls and has a decent throw.  I think Tyce is my best potential for a little athlete
-Very into animals.  His favorite books are the animal picture books
-Likes to keep mom close at all times.  Just barely starting to play a little independently with a car or toy
-Doesn't go to nursery alone.  Needs mom or dad there the whole time
-Loves, loves, LOVES his favorite blankie.  Drags it around the house all day and has a way he occasionally sucks on it to comfort himself. (You can tell he's my 3rd cause I never let the other two carry blankets around)
-Still a great helper.  He is my best at throwing things away or singing "clean up, clean up" while putting toys away
-Recently starting to watch an old VHS of Barney and likes it.  This show holds his attention span for a whole 5 min!
-Also watches Mickey Mouse Clubhouse for perhaps 3 minutes.  Otherwise, doesn't watch tv except in the car which he now insists we watch all.the.time.
-Is adorable when playing Just Dance with his brothers on the Wii
-Thanks to his brothers, knows many Skylanders.  He walks around saying "Bash" or "Chub, Chub Baby" or "Chop Chop" and thinks he is quite clever
-Has so much personality!  He is a hoot:)

Happy 2nd Birthday Tyce!  We love you!
